There are no covid in china :rolleyes:
Lived in china when covid started. Canada hasn't even have a lockdown yet compared to what China did for prevention. We've done absolutely nothing to prevent COVID spread. While I was there, I wasn't allowed to leave the house. They did contact tracing from day one. One designated person was allowed to go get groceries once daily and had to sign in via qr code and sign out when leaving, then also sign in/out when you got to your building/house. The streets were completely empty and dead(a week prior they were packed like Meatsticks mom's pussy because it was spring festival, the biggest holiday on the planet). Police checked in once per day, nurses came to see if anyone is experiencing any sort of symptoms and record temperature. The local hospital was off-limits for non-life threatening illnesses. This was in a town with 0 cases two thousand miles from Wuhan. The truth is they took it, and still take it, a hundred times more seriously than western countries do. I was allowed out of pity to take my dogs for a walk once daily around the corner and back so they could poop. To travel to my wife's grandma's hometown 5km away I had to be tested multiple times and ask the village leader for permission to visit, this was after four weeks of quarantine in a town with 0 cases, going to another town with 0 cases.
100% there were more cases in the first months than they put in the numbers, likely from lack of testing and unwillingness to show how many people got it and died in Wuhan. But at the same time, they did a way better job and still do than we do. My friends in Zhengzhou(city I worked in before I went on vacation to wife's hometown) are still in lockdown every time the city has 1 case. Just one case and they shut down cities of 12-20 million people.
My wife can't even go to her sister's wedding because she'd have to do a one-month quarantine in a hotel in Beijing or Shanghai, then a two-week quarantine after arriving in Kunming. Six weeks before you're allowed to resume life.
